An upgrade to the city’s urban forest is just one of several planned projects to enhance public spaces around Grande Prairie.
Among the projects approved through the city’s Community Enhancement Fund, is the installation of a tree grove installations along 100 Street between 116 Avenue and 139 Avenue.
However, it’s not just about beautification. Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie says some of the projects will go a long way to help shape the kind of community Grande Prairie strives to be.
“By investing in green corridors and shared public spaces we’re supporting quality of life, encouraging community connection and making practical improvements that benefit everyone.”
Other projects given the go-ahead include parkette upgrades at 100 Avenue and 100 Street, which will see resurfaced brickwork and the removal of damaged planters. As well as a fence and dock replacement at Ernie Radbourne Pavilion to improve safety and accessibility with the wooden structures to be replaced with composite materials designed for long-term use.
